From the summer of 1980: two stunning pieces of Jim Steranko EMPIRE STRIKES BACK art from the front and rear covers of his MEDIASCENE PREVUE magazine.

This is either issue 41 of MEDIASCENE… or the first issue of MEDIASCENE PREVUE… it's running a dual numbering system inside.

Previously a newspaper-esque tabloid, this was (I believe) the first issue to appear in a traditional magazine format. Apparently, over time, the quotient of scantily-clad ladies significantly increased.

SLOW ROBOT

Welcome to STARLOGGED!
It's a repository, and celebration, of Geek Media (mostly print) from the 'Star Age': that pre-millennial period between, roughly, 1972 (the opening of Marvel UK) and 1999 (the release of The Phantom Menace... and the end of innocence). But, of course, we'll bend the rules when we want to.
I only reproduce long out-of-print items for historical reference. I don't include anything that's currently in-print, is likely to be reprinted or otherwise commercially exploited by the copyright holder.
Comments and contributions are most welcome.
